Who would you put Oregon over , of the teams ahead of them? .. besides flipping them with alabama the list seems alright .
there shouldnt be rankings this early period
should start rankings mid season
Ole Miss should be number 1 or 2 if they gonna do rankings
Honestly from the looks of that defense on saturday who do you see stopping them outside of the SEC?
Word.
Can you name Ole Miss's leading rusher off the top of your head?
I ask to say, they have a great D sure but what happens when their one dimensional offense runs into an equally good defense?
Or are people just overreacting to early results and punditry?
Is it one dimensional because they simply can't run or because Alabama made it that way? Despite Alabama's back 4 issues over the past couple of seasons their run defense has consistently been one of the best in the country.
The point I was getting at is everyone wants to hot take and be the first to call Ole Miss the best team since the 37 Tamu juggernaut but then can't name most of the players on the roster. Can't even tell you who makes up that unstoppable defense they're touting.
We went through this last year and the same issues seemed to exist with Ole Miss's roster.
It's too early to talk about top defenses and rankings and stats and yada because most of the country to this point has played absolutely no one. Arizona hasn't even faced a power 5 team and dudes on the radio talking about what ucla needs to do to beat them. Who knows how Miss will hold up against better defenses.
At this point last year Miss St. Ran all over Bama and people said the same **** about Bama's defense then and the Mississippi teams offenses and defenses and look how the year ended. Neither high powered Miss offense could do **** at the end of the year when they hit the meat of their schedule and had to perform week after week.
Give it time. I personally don't believe Ole Miss is the best team in the country but I'm also not in a rush to declare who is.
